Business owner/CEOs intent on creating value for their shareholders often engage in a variety of “value-enhancing” strategies. Some of those strategies involve being in the right place at the right time; some of them work; some of them don’t; and some of them are just plain death defying for their businesses.
In a recent article, Marty Wolf, president of Martin Wolf Securities, pointed out several of these value destroying techniques, which are unfortunately all too common:
1. Opportunistic acquisitions
2. Growth for the sake of growth
3. Weak balance sheets
4. Convoluted ownership structures
5. Missing the window for a liquidity event
Is your business at risk because of one of these?
